I thought that Teddy would not win until the playoffs started. This is quite the buzz around here. I believe Teddy has a Facebook page. I know he has a fan club with t-shirts and pins. I wonder if this will start a winning streak for him.

I guess I'm the only person who had never heard of this race or streak.

So people run in the costumes, but the results are pre-determined? That's not a race.

Or did the person(s) wearing the TR costume just happen to not win 538 times in a row? That would be impressive.

It's all choreographed. Teddy has "won" the race before but been "disqualified" for various reasons. The only reason he was able to "win" this last race was that a Phillie Phanatic look-alike tackled the other three presidents on the back stretch.
